Google tells me Jefferson graduated from William and Mary and briefly practiced law. He drafted the law for religious freedom, served as Secretary of State, as well as other trivialities, such as serving as the primary author of The Declaration of Independence. I am a little surprised, as I thought he was primarily an architect before becoming a Founding Father. 2 Link to comment

Patent, trademark and copyright are referred to as intellectual property law, and is one of the more demanding legal fields. Students aiming to practice patent law have to take two bar exams - the state exam, and the patent bar exam. It's also common for an attorney practicing patent law to have an undergraduate degree in some type of engineering, or science such as chemistry or physics. This Emily seems to me like a real dingbat, and doesn't impress me as someone who has all that going for her. Guess we'll have to wait and see. 5 Link to comment

Thomas Jefferson School of Law on Probation Quote February 26, 2018 Law School On Probation Is Reportedly Struggling Financially, Conducting Layoffs Do you know what's going on behind closed doors at Thomas Jefferson School of Law? By STACI ZARETSKY When we last checked in with the Thomas Jefferson School of Law late last year, the American Bar Association had just put the school on probation for being out of compliance with numerous standards required to maintain accreditation. Specifically, the ABA found the school’s anticipated financial resources, admissions practices, academic program, and bar passage outcomes lacking. In its public memorandum to the school, the ABA noted that “only immediate and substantial action” could put Thomas Jefferson back on track. As a condition of its probation, Thomas Jefferson was ordered to send all applicants a letter or email detailing the school’s subpar first-time bar examination passage rates in comparison with California’s first-time bar examination passage rates for the past four administrations of the exam. Though we initially expressed incredulity that this would deter applicants, it’s apparently working. Sources at the school claim that class sizes are quickly shrinking, and we’ve been told that more students are transferring out of the school than are being admitted. An insider reports that only 15 students began their studies at the school this spring, a number much smaller than usual. To that end, insiders at Thomas Jefferson say that the school is experiencing financial troubles thanks to its decreased enrollment numbers. One source says that the school can no longer afford to make payments on its campus building, and that the administration is looking at a new location to move to after the spring semester is over. “One place is all the way in Rancho Bernardo,” says another source. “The lease is up at the place in downtown San Diego and the owners will not re-sign the school due to TJSL not keeping up with the payments.” Back in November, after Thomas Jefferson was first put on probation, the administration claimed in a public FAQ document that it was “meeting its financial obligations and will continue prudent financial management.” These days, it seems that layoffs are part of the law school’s “prudent financial management” plan. Here’s what we’ve heard from tipsters who once worked at Thomas Jefferson School of Law: • TJSL can no longer operate with the current probation status. They did another round of layoffs including staff and faculty. • TJSL is going to close. They laid off six people by walking us out, one-by-one. Two other senior staff members quit suddenly after this. They cannot afford their expensive “campus” building past May/June of THIS YEAR (was confirmed in a staff meeting by the Dean and General Counsel). They are looking for a new building but no one will rent to them, so they are trying get the empty offices rented out to third parties. It’s a mess. The school is in financial trouble. We’ve reached out to the school for comment earlier today, but have yet to hear back from anyone. If and when we do, we will update this post as soon as we can. Thomas Jefferson School of Law is like a gift that keeps on giving 3 Link to comment

It is far more difficult than trademark and copyright law. I became a trademark lawyer by default because the company I used to work for had a shit ton of trademarks and I worked with marketing team so I ended up dealing with them. A lot of trademark law is sort of a gut feeling - does this infringe on that and would people be likely to be confused by something similar. I’ve never known anyone who said they were a copyright lawyer. Although I would guess copyright law is related to being an entertainment lawyer - writers of all kinds would have copyright issues. 7 Link to comment
